About the Book:  
A king and his lords form an austere academy, swearing to have no contact with women for three years.  But when the Princess of neighbouring France arrives with her female attendants, their pledge is quickly placed under strain.  Soon all are smitten and confusion abounds, as each struggles secretly to declare his love in this comedy of deception, desire and mistaken identity. 

This book includes a general introduction to Shakespeare’s life and the Elizabethan theatre, a separate introduction to Love’s Labour’s Lost, a chronology, suggestions for further reading, an essay by Nicholas Walton discussing performance options on both stage and screen, and a commentary
